Ingredients

  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ large avocado, finely chopped
  • 2 slices cooked bacon, diced
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pesto

Information

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Servings: 2
  • Yield: 2 large chicken breasts

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spritz bottom and sides of a medium baking pan with olive oil spray.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully slice into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket but do not slice all the way through. Season the insides and outsides with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine diced avocado and the bacon. Divide the mixture in half and stuff each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets and place into baking pan.
  • Mix together panko, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush 1 tablespoon pesto on top of each breast. Cover each breast with the panko mixture, pressing into the pesto so mixture adheres.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
